Section 8 — Compensation for loss or damage caused by interim protection
44.If the Welsh Ministers serve notice of the end of interim protection under section 7(1)(b) or (2)(b), indicating that they have decided not to schedule a monument or an additional part of a monument, a person who had an interest in the monument when the interim protection took effect may claim compensation for any loss or damage suffered that is directly attributable to the interim protection. This section sets out how a claim must be made to the Welsh Ministers.
45.Section 202 makes additional provision about claims for compensation, and in particular allows the Welsh Ministers to extend the period for making a claim for compensation in a particular case if they are satisfied that there is good reason for doing so. Any disputes about compensation under this Act will be referred to the Upper Tribunal under section 203. The Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) Rules make provision for the reference of a case to the Tribunal and its handling.
